Noninvasive evaluation of a coronary-pulmonary artery fistula

Acta Cardiol. 2009 Oct;64(5):693-4. doi: 10.2143/AC.64.5.2042705.

Abstract

Coronary angiography can be used to identify the size and anatomical features of coronaryartery fistulas (CAF), but it may fail to depict the drainage site of the CAF or its relation to other structures. In our case, the combined use of CT and CMR provided all the necessary information forclinical management.
